Welcome to
Sola's
Playground
What's a "Playground"?
Basically a place I can make things without worrying about it's feasibility. This section changes a few times a year based on the areas of design I am exploring outside of work lately.  

Marketing Design

While not my career focus, I use tools like Blender, Adobe Animate and Canva to craft hyper realistic animations for marketing design. I try to stay up to date on the latest trends with 3D and marketing design though so I can make modern mockups at a moments notice!

I have a marketing and social media portfolio as well available upon request.

Unity 3D Design

As a Mechatronics Engineer, I learned a lot about physics and timing and that is largely why I have experience designing motion and micro animations: because the process of setting the parameters (like how springy it is, how slow it is etc) is just applied physics. In Unity3D, I can script custom motions to create high fidelity 3D animations for marketing purposes as well as micro animations (which you will see in the next section).

Hover animations

The latest version of Figma occasionally bring out my 2D animation addiction as well. I often try to make micro interactions just for fun and teach workshops on how I did them. These are some cards that I recently taught my coworkers to make.
